WIWx3: Simple weekend outfits

Here are three very simple outfits I wore this weekend.

The first one was worn on Saturday to go to a local chocolate place with a friend. It consist of white Loft eyelet dress toughened up a little with taupe stacked heel BCBGeneration gladiator sandals.

The second one was worn on Saturday evening for social dancing - I haven't posted a dance outfit in a long time. This one consists of old drapey blue-grey Bebe tunic and slim black bootcut pants.

The third outfit was worn today to run a bunch of errands. It consists of navy/pink BR halter top, navy pinstripe slouchy Gap shorts, and bone studded Luxury Rebel gladiator sandals.

All the outfits look great but you look especially divine in that white dress! Hope the chocolate was yummy.

I like how you toughened up the dress with the gladiators. Good idea
Also I love that top in #3! Great colours!!

Great outfits - love the white dress!

Suz

I like the way you juxtaposed the gladiators with the eyelet dress. Fun! They're all great outfits.

Do you often wear trousers for dance? I thought it would be dresses and skirts always.

Tanya

Thanks you very much Crazyone, Smittie, Shevia and Suz.

Suz, the choice of trousers vs. skirt/dress for dancing depends on my choice of dance footwear. Real dance shoes have high heels (like in my avatar photo) and can thus hurt after hours of social dancing. The alternative are dance sneakers which are super comfy, but big, black and clunky and only look good with bootcut black trousers that partially cover them. For really important dances/when I want to dress up I will wear the heels with skirt/dress, but if my feet hurt which they often do I will wear dance sneakers, black pants and pretty top.

All three are stunning, Tanya. I am smitten with the white dress and gladiators on you. The others are just as fab, though; the dance outfit has a goddess-like appeal, and I love the juxtaposition of the feminine halter top with the menswear-inspired trouser shorts in the third outfit. I think I fall for every outfit you wear with those Luxury Rebel sandals, don't I?

These are far from casual in my book but you set a high bar! Love the last one especially. Can't believe you wore white to a chocolate place though - you are a brave woman!

Good outfits. The first is my fave. Neat and tidy. The second looks pretty perfect for going dancing. The third is very fancy! This is what I'd wear to drink wine

WOW. Your simple weekend outfits are amazing. My outfits look nothing like yours. Yours look like you put some thought into them. They even speak to your self esteem. Mine go back to the "whatever" category.

You have inspired so many changes in my wardrobe planning these past couple of months. I look for your posts the same way I look for chocolate. Take care.

Simple but wit a bit of Kick A $$. Lol

A bit of tough on the pretty. My favorite is 3 the top shows your shoulders off in a beautiful way.

Thank you very much for your kind comments Firecracker, Una, Rachy, Sterling and Ledonna!

Firecracker, I love those sandals too, so much the my other sandals get very little wear. They are very comfy too.

Una, I don't know whether I was brave or silly, but decided to take the risk as I really felt like wearing the white dress. It helps that I was going straight to the dance social afterwards and had my dance outfit with me to change into.

Aww, Sterling, you are so sweet and your words have made my day. I feel very humbles to serve as such an inspiration.

Ledonna, yes to both of those - I love mixing tough and pretty and exposing my shoulders when the occasion is appropriate.

You always look sooooo pulled together and chic, Tanya - no matter the dress code.. And I see that it was hot your side!

I LOVE the white dress with the glads. Nice juxtaposition.

Your dance outfit is very elegant.

And I could eat you up in those baggy shorts with alluring pretty top. Another fab juxtaposition.

Killer #3. Your style is brilliant eye candy.

skylurker

Love the chic simplicity of #1.
Love #3 even better, the colours look vibrant on you and the juxtaposition of the retro shorts with the silk-scarf like top is brilliant.

Diana

Beautiful, all three! I like the shorts outfit best, the proportions are great and that top is just amazing on you.

UmmLila (Lisa)

All are excellent, and that top in the third is a great color and shape for you.

anne

Love one and two and the colours in $3. I agree that these don't look simple exactly, but they sure look good.

Angie, Skylurker, Diana, UmmLila and Anne, thank you so much.

It is fun to read all the positive comments about #3. Shorter shorts are still "taking the stand" items with me, and I think I have just figured out a perfect way do divert attention from them - wear them with a pretty top that highlights shoulders or neck and hope nobody looks at my legs.

Sara L.

Hee, I had the same reaction as Una - you wore white to eat chocolate? Very brave! I think these are all nice outfits but I especially like #1 and #3. The patterned halter top in #3 is very flattering on you.

Elizabeth P

Haha, I was looking for the chocolate stain on the dress

These are three lovely outfits Tanya, I'm so happy you're posting regularly again. I love the gladiators with the white eyelet, so pretty. and I hadn't even noticed the shorts were "short" in #3, so you obviously did a great job drawing my eyes up on that one!
